I unknowingly had a tumor growing in my neck. Dr Garber looked at my imaging and said looks like cancer and something is "eating your bones." His words. For 2 months, I had a hard time getting a biopsy and I was back and forth with dead in referral loop to a cancer center. The cancer center reached out to me about brain cancer, not neck cancer. Garber office mistakenly sent the wrong info. Ok fine, we are all human we make mistakes. But his office eventually ghosted me. I ended up reaching out to Cedar Sinai hospital in Cali via their Second Opinion Program. A surgeon (Dr. Tiffany G Perry) called me from her personal cell phone freaking out and said I am in danger and need emergency surgery ASAP. I reached out to Garber office via text message and told them what I was told. Silence. Thankfully, I was able to get in 3 days later from Vegas. I'm so upset about how close to danger I was but was ghosted. Also- I waited hours to see him in the waiting room only to see him for 5 minutes during both appointments we had. His appointments are rushed. BTW, the surgery performed at Cedar Sinai was a major success and I am beyond thankful. read more

Jury is still out. Here are the highlights: Over time I experienced antagonism from the office regarding my referral and appointment setting. Extremely anxious as I am dealing with a new brain tumor. Turns out that the office is great in person and the person who did the interview for Garber was 10/10 Garber was easy-going and affable. I have many tests and then a follow up. For now I'm assigning this office a 4/5 read more

Jason Garber, MD - Surgeons Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Dr Garber, as well as his staff, are the epitome of experienced professionals! From the moment you check in to see dr, you'll be greeted with a smile, a sincere concern, and they just want you to feel comfortable, and have complete confidence in dr Garber! I do! read more

For the love of god DO NOT LET THIS MAN PERFORM ANY PROCEDURE ON YOU. He ruined my life after failing miserably on a surgery he told me has a 95% success rate. My entire PT office was full of nothing but unhappy patients of his with horrific experiences just like mine. I had to spend 50k on stem cells to try and fix what he did to my back. DO NOT GET SURGERY WITH THIS HORRIBLE SURGEON. He ruined my life, and he will ruin yours. read more

I was referred to him this past Jan. Didn't hear after 2 weeks. Called the office, had to leave a message. Waited a week, no call. Had another referral sent. Kept calling every week for a month. Never talked to a person, never was contacted in any way from them. I gave up. read more

This guy did surgery on my son's neck, now my son is in constant pain and agony every day of his life, he told my son it was a failed surgery, nothing they can do. So please don't get surgery from this guy. read more

I had a ACDF in 2015. I had severe pain in my neck and arms. I was under the care of pain management for 12 years but the treatments were no longer effective. it was time for surgery. Dr Paul Sutera of Bullhead City AZ referred me to Dr. Jason Garber. I was immediately impressed with Dr. Garber. He was very professional and has an incredible bedside manner. He agreed that I needed ACDF. He used the Stalif devices placed where my discs were. I woke from surgery with only surgical pain, not my normal severe burning and stabbing pain. That was gone. I would recommend Dr Jason Garber to any who is considering having surgery. read more

I am considering asking my primary for another referral. I saw Dr. Garber and is PA once; great experience. However, since my initial visit the ball has been dropped. I have a fractured spine & I'm out here by myself it seems. I went in this morning due to the fact that no one picks up the phone or returns phone calls. I was given another excuse & told I would hear back from someone by Thursday. That will be my last attempt at trying to get the medical attention I need from this Dr. read more

My primary physician referred me to LVNI and to see Dr. Garber. I had an appointment today with Dr. Garber after waiting approximately a month to get in to see him. Today, I arrived at the office and was told that he was called out of the office and we would have to reschedule. The receptionist told me they tried to call me a week ago (how can that be if he was just called out of the office?) and I asked what date so I could check my call log. Plus no message was left for me. "Oh, we don't know because we have been sharing responsibilities lately ". WTH? I purposely returned to Vegas from being out of town to make this appointment. I would never recommend or return to this office. read more

Dr Garber IS TheBomb.com! (PT 1) Dr Garber did a laminectomy which literally gave me a new lease on life. I have always been active and done my best to take care of myself, I've been on a meat free diet for over 35 years, so I wasn't prepared to have any physical problems. I'm stubborn - I did everything possible from praying to physical exercise, including yoga, swimming, lifting weights, etc. but nothing helped ! I eventually got to the point point where I couldn't even stand up straight anymore! Getting out of the bed was a unique experience I hope to never repeat. Every day before I could get out of bed, it took almost an hour of heating pads, stretching, and warm up exercises to be able to stand and walk straight. Even then, I had to be guarded and carefully watch what I was doing, and how I moved. Dr G and his team are excellent- the front and back office are, on it. If I ever had a question concern, doubt or whatever ... all I had to do is ask. I can't recommend them enough. Thx Dr G (Dr Garber performed my initial diagnosis , performed my surgery and oversaw my rehab and P.T.) read more

See all

Office is a trainwreck and staff was unbelievably rude. So many people yelling at the desk for issues they were incurring. Actual patients recommending to not see Dr. Garber Would be no stars if it were an option read more

After having my PMD send a referral I called to make an appointment. I was told that there is a specific person who makes appointments & would call back. That was 12/22/24 and tho' I've made three more calls & left messages, I've never heard from anyone at this office. read more

To all prospective patients: I recommend seeking care elsewhere. This was the worst experience I've had with a physician or surgeon, compounded by scheduling issues. My surgery was unsuccessful, and the doctor is avoiding taking responsibility for the outcome. I agree with the negative reviews posted here. read more

Excellent neurosurgeon. I would never allow anyone else to care for my back. He's the best in Nevada period!!!!!!! read more

Jason Garber, MD - Surgeons Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Not punctual and rude receptionist. Has happened a few times already. Horrible to bring kids to.

It's been fourteen years since he cleaved my neck down the back like a tree trunk. Seems more like fourty. I suppose I should be grateful I'm not paralyzed. Paralyzed would make me pain free though. No idea how invasive it was going to be. Absolutely none of his staff talked to me about it. So, in effect, very poor staff. I was only fifty three. Very arrogantly American. All about the money. A small stature man with an ego to match Don't trust your health to him read more

my mother got the spinal stimulator put between her T-8 to T-10. and the bolts started to loosen and the leads moved. she started to loose her strength in her arms so she went back to dr garber. He said," You need more physical therapy and your neck fused. so she did. still as time went on she started to drop objects and couldn't even hold a spoon to eat. so she went back to garber. he told her more physical therapy and carpool tunnel surgery. so she did. My mother was ok, yes in pain but she could still move around walk on her own eat ect... but she slowly became paralysed by dr jason garber. all the way to where she could no longer fell her intake of oxygen. she was put on a breathing machine! I went to see dr garber to ask him for help because the spring valley hospital said no other surgeons will touch my mother that dr garber is the only surgeon that they would allow to do surgery on her. I tried to get her transfered but was rejected. I went to garbers office and he refused to talk to me. more then 5 times I went to his office and nope he refused to see me!!! My mother passed away on 4/25/2025. the hospital turned her machine off and made my mother suffocate to death. She was freaking out the whole time. She kept begging for me to call the rt cause she couldn't breath. Her head going back and forth she was panicking! I stoped her head and said I love you so much mom but I can't watch them do this to you it's not right. as I walked out of the room her eyes followed me. I looked for a nurse or any staff but no one was there. my sister and my aunt stayed with my mother for her last few moments. Everyday I'm haunted by what happened to my mother. It was sick and no one seems to care but me! everyone that played there part in leading to my mother's death will have there day when they answer to God! only they will my mother have the justice she deserves. read more

I have been a patient of Dr Garber on and off since 2006. I am a physical therapist and saw the great results his patients had and that's why I chose him . He did a C6-C7 fusion when I lost the use of my triceps in 2006. A C3-C4 disc replacement in 2022. I had a rotator cuff surgery in 2023 and couldn't get my strength back and had bad headaches and spasms . Had a C4-C5 and C5-C6 disc replacement. The pain is so much better and my arms finally getting stronger . read more

Jason E. Garber, M.D. is highly recommended by me! I had sudden onset of spinal stenosis and could not stand/walk longer than 7 mins without numbness and collapsing with terrible pain. My surgery was at Mountain View on 09/30/20, and today I am back to driving, grocery shopping and walking. No Pain. I'm still getting better each week, and plan to continue to do so. I did not experience feeling 'rushed' at his office. Rather, I felt the office was efficiently run, with a staff that was always polite and caring. It's clear Dr. Garber loves his chosen career. He's extremely knowledgeable. He listened every time I asked questions, and answered them clearly, with a smile in his eyes. Dustin Van Orman, P.A. also gets kudos from me for his great explanation of my MRI, and for his caring. Don't hesitate to see Dr. Garber. read more

Dr Garber is great but DO NOT DO THE VIDEO!!!! Who ever answers the phone for his office is very unprofessional. So,let me share my story,I get a call this morning from his office confirming his video appointment today at 11:15 I waited until 1130 still no call, I tried calling the office,no answer : 1145 still no video conference, I call the office again I finally get an answer the girl put me on hold only to send me to maya voicemail then I try for 15 more minutes to get a hold of someone and no one answered. So if you desire an appointment with Dr. Garber I suggest making a physical appearance at his office and not doing video chat. I waited over a month for this appointment and now I'm sure I will have to reschedule read more

Ive had two surgeries by Dr Garber. First one was C3-C7 ACDF surgery 2 years ago and last week I had permanent pain stimulator surgery. Dr Garber is the best surgeon Ive ever been treated by. He takes his time to answer all questions and is an great surgeon I would recommend him to anyone. Him and his staff are outstanding! read more

After three unsuccessful back surgeries in 3 years that never should have happen, I asked for a little time to recoup before anything next. I haven't heard a peep from his office. If given a referral to his office, ask for someone else. 100% of time you walk in his office, 100% he is going to recommend surgery. 100% not recommended. read more

Dr. Garber's office staff has always been amazing. I had a neurosurgical procedure yesterday at Mountain View hospital where he was my attending surgeon. The entire process, start to finish, was stress free. I had a visit from 2 different people from his office, while I was in the pre-op area. They made sure to go once every single aspect of my surgery, to make sure I understood 100% what I was about to be going through. They delivered my back brace bedside to make sure it would be with me when I woke up after surgery. I also got a pre surgery visit from the neuromonitoring staff that works along side Dr. Garber, to explain in great detail what she would be doing to make sure that I was not injured during my procedure. They were on top of letting my family know what phase I was in, every step of my journey. From the moment they wheeled me away from them, to what phase of recovery I was in, to the moment they were allowed to come visit me in my private room. His office even sent a physician to me room today to personally check to make sure my incision was healing properly, and I was meeting all the criteria to be discharged. Every person that I encountered at the hospital reassured me that I absolutely chose the best surgeon in the field. I received the best quality of care that I could imagine from start to finish. read more

Dr Jayson Garbor is a excellent Dr he did fussion on my L5s1 torn disc I'm 70 years old and 2 weeks after I can tell he really helped my pain level. I believe he is the best Dr in Nevada. read more

I love Dr. Garber I have no issues with him. It's his staff. They don't answer the phones. And when the surgery scheduler is on vacation you have to wait for her to come back from her vacation to get a surgery date. This practice is unreal. They don't have anyone covering her while she gone. She comes back and won't even answer her phone. This is horrible practice in the medical field. We literally have to wait on Lisa to do all her personal business before taking care of patients who really need the help. I'm not sure if Garber is aware of this. I can call and press another number and the other front desk for the other doctors answers their calls. Truly sad. I give Dr. Garber and his office staff not all, just the ones who don't pick up the phone - read more

Dr Garber is awesome. Dr Garber and his staff made me feel very comfortable before surgery and after. I will recommend anybody to see him. Can't wait till next year for my back surgery. Thank you again Dr Garber. read more

I've had chronic back pain for 13 years and I wish I'd found Dr. Garber sooner. Since surgery, I've had zero back pain. He replaced a disc in my lower back and it's been nothing short of miraculous. Very kind staff and doctor, nice office, not much of a wait at appointments, very thorough, I would highly recommend. read more

You have to go through hoops to leave a message to obtain an appointment....then they don't even call back! DISORGANIZED PRACTICE read more

I called and left a message to make an appointment for the last four days, and sent a request via email through their website. No one has called me back to set up an appointment. Extremely unprofessional not to have a phone call returned after four attempts. read more

Great experience! Dr and staff are competent, caring and masterful. I had cervical spine surgery and out of pain.

Dr. Garber is the best! Great sense of humor, easy to talk to, talks to you Not down to you. He did my L4, L5 and S1, and was painless 5 days after surgery! Surgery was 11/16/20, no more pain pills after 11/21/20... read more

I needed to see a neurologist and was told that Dr Garber was not doing anything with the brain even though his credentials state "neurologist, brain." I was referred to another doctor in the same office LVNI but after speaking with him about the whit mass in my brain, he stated that he wasn't a neurologist. He was a neurosurgeon! I'm done with that place. read more

Dr. Garber is an excellent surgeon and amazing individual. My initial visit to him, diagnosis, surgery and the road to recovery started about three weeks ago. After suffering with excruciating pain in my back, leg and hip, I'm finally on the road to recovery. He's a very special and gifted individual. It's so obvious he's dedicated to his craft, loves his patients and ensures what he can or cannot do for you as a patient. His staff is very friendly, welcoming and professional. I truly feel like a new person. I am so blessed to have been referred to this surgeon and would give him as a recommendation and referral to anyone needed a neurosurgeon. My experience is in the recovery stages but thus far I can't be more satisfied. read more

Dr. Jason Garber is a well educated Neurosurgeon who has added years to my life. He is apt and has a wise bedside manner. He performed my L5-S1 diskectomy spine/back sugery for my herniated disc. His advice and knowledge I trust. I highly recommend Dr. Jason Garber. read more

Dr. Garber is a excellent surgeon, he has been my surgeon since 2018. He operated on my back and recently operated on my neck. He has help relieve a lot of my pain and restrictions I was suffering from. I highly recommend him to anyone. He's takes time to explain everything. read more

failed surgery,went for second opinion now I have to have a new surgery and a corrected surgery,everyone has their own opinions but choose a dr that cares and takes more then 5 minutes to talks to you ,the assistant spends more time going over everything Garber talks and moves quickly...after lumber and 2 cervical I'm still in so much pain and scheduled for a new surgery next month but dr Garber told me everything was fine read more

I think some of the poor reviews have hit it on the nail with the statement about Dr. Garber's surgery on my husband, which also failed which caused him to have extreme pain and he struggled with walking, sitting and was unable to return to work as he continued to go down hill which made him debilitated so much so he went for a 2nd opinion which resulted in another surgery to fix my husbands back and which they had to re-fuse L3-S1 on both sides of his spine they had to leave half of the broken screw in his L-4 and he also had to have his Sacral Iliac Joints fused as well. If only Dr. Garber had taken the proper precautions and the time to perform the surgery by fusing both sides of his L4 to S1 as discussed could've prevented my husband's fusion from falling resulting in too much stress on the fusion on his right side resulting in a screw breaking in half and another screw coming loose resulting in a failed fusion. There was no excuse for this nonsense let alone the blatant negligence that was done to my husband. So as of this review I'd say my previous review is no longer a 5 star review but a 1 star as this could've been easily prevented!! read more

Dr. Jason Garber is a dream! He is so informative and excellent at what he does. He is also very conservative, and will not operate unless he feels it is absolutely necessary. I recommend him to anyone I know who has back or neck issues. He is fast, so be prepared with your questions before you go in. He's like a Tazmanian devil because he moves so quickly. His Assistant, Dustin, is awesome as well, and the two complement each other wonderfully. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my spine! read more

I've been dealing with a a bulge in my cervical spine for ten years. I endured over 40 epidural steroid treatments into my spine with no long term relief. I was referred Dr Garber by several of my coworkers who stated he was excellent. March 11 I had my spinal surgery and I feel 100 percent better. His bedside manners supersedes all the chaos that's going on in the world. Thanks Dr Garber and thanks to his PA.Dustin Job well done... read more

Garber paralyzed me, literally, from the waist down for 20 hours. His arrogance write a check that I will spend the rest of my life cashing. I went to see him for chronic back pain subsequent to multiple fusions. He did the test to install a pain stimulator and it was wonderful. The test that is. I could turn my pain off by turning a dial. We scheduled the surgery to install the permanent device. The surgery apparently went off without a problem and I went home only to wake up the next day completely distended it throughout my abdomen and looking 17 months pregnant. It turned out that he had missed a bleeder that have been bleeding internally all night long. My wife called an ambulance and we proceeded to go to the hospital on saint Rose parkway where the head of the ER immediately prepared the OnStaff neurosurgeon and a surgical suite to remove the device and stop the bleeding and of course to remove the blood. This is where it gets truly despicable. Garber got on the phone with my wife as by this time I was in and out of consciousness. I quite literally yelled at her that he was the only one qualified to remove the device as he is the one who put it in and only he, only he, only he could ensure that I would be okay. Not knowing what else to do my wife agreed. This took almost a half an hour. I was then transported by ambulance to centennial hills. 35 MINUTES AWAY! While I was in the ambulance I felt my legs go numb. I have no idea how long it took before I got into the surgical suite and he removed the device and drain the internal bleed which had become a hematoma which had compressed my spinal cord causing paralysis. What I do know is it the over 1 1/2 hour delay from what I got to saint Rose hospital doing my legs went numb what's the difference in the course of my life. I 100% believe that if I had simply been taken upstairs at st. Rose upon my arrival and had they removed the device and the blood at that time I never would have suffered over 20 hours of paralysis. After the 20 hours I did get the use of my legs back and I am able to walk, but I cannot walk far and I frequently use a cane and I will never walk with the smoothness or the grace that I once did. My days of skiing, basketball, sports in general,even going for a long walk with my wife and our dog, those days are over. Immediately after the surgery to remove the device, he went on vacation! That was the last time I ever saw him face to face. I was in the hospital for 4 weeks and he never once came by! After I was out, I went to his office for follow up on multiple occasions and not once did he ever come into the room with me to see how I was doing. In fact, when he would see me in the office he would have mediately act as if something was urgently happening, turn away from me and scurry in the opposite direction, like the little weasel that I believed him to be. his staff treated me like I was the biggest inconvenience they had ever had to tolerate. I can't possibly express my rage and disgust with both Dr garbor and the people that surround him. To this day my legs have never been, and will never be the same. They feel weak and shaky and thick and rubbery. When I have to go up or down stairs I have to stop and brace myself and make sure I'm holding on tightly to the handrail. Of course my feet tingle and burn all the time and all of this is directly related to his arrogance that he is the only only only one who could fix me. The reality is he is the only only only one who ruined my life. Go to this arrogant little man at your own risk. All I know is my life will never be the same in the worst way imaginable read more
